Taylor Swift debuted the “Patient Zero” music video at the 2026 VMAs in Los Angeles after receiving the inaugural Artist Director Honors award. Her 31st VMA broke her tie with Beyoncé, making her the most-decorated artist in the show’s history.
“Patient Zero” is part of the deluxe album “The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore,” released the previous Friday with four previously unreleased tracks. The video features Dakota Johnson and Colin Farrell, with cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki.
